JEWISH NATIONAL OHGANIZATIONS IN THE ' ‘ 

UNITED STATES 


Iu the following list information is given respecting those Jewish 
organizations which have a national scope as distinguished from societies 
of a local character which are listed in the Directory of Local Jewish 
Organizations, pp. 330-583. Seventy-six bodies are listed below. Although 
these organizations vary widely in their functions, they may be classified 
into ten broad groups. Of course, there are several organizations which, 
owing to their manifold aims and purposes, could be placed into more 
than one class, but these w’ere grouped in accordance with their most 
prominent activity. In the international group are such bodies as the 
American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress, and the 
organizations interested in the welfare of the Jews of Roumania; the 
Zionist organizations have been grouped separately. In the educational 
class are the Council of Young Men’s Hebrew and Kindred Associations, 
the Intercollegiate Menorah Association, the Jewish Chautauqua Societv, 
and others of a similar character. The three Theological Seminaries arid 
the Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning are given sepa¬ 
rately. As research institutions are classed the American Jewish His¬ 
torical Society, the Bureau of Jewish Social Research, and the Jewish 
Academicians of America. Professional associations include the various 
rabbinical societies and the National Conference of Jewish Social Service 
The Religious Unions include the congregational federations and their 
national auxiliaries. No explanation of the other groups is necessary. 

Following is a table showing the number of organizations in each class 
the number of branches and of members :

Several interesting facts are apparent in the foregoing table. Over a 
million of the Jews of the United States are connected wfitb National 
Organizations ; over a half million are affiliated with fraternal orders or 
mutual benefit associations; a quarter of a million help to maintain 
philanthropic enterprises of national scope: and thirty-five of the organh 
zations report a total of 5004 branches, affiliated bodies, or agencies. The 
number of these must be taken into account when we consider the number 
of local organizations.

DIRECTORY OF JEWISH LOCAL ORGANI¬ 
ZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES 


DIRECTORY OF JEWISH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS 
IN THE UNITED STATES 

\ 

INTRODUCTION 

This Directory is intended to supersede the list published in The American 
Jewish Year Book 5668 and all the supplementary lists printed in the sub¬ 
sequent issues. Except for New York City, the Directory was mostly compiled 
from data received from the organizations themselves, in response to questionnaires 
which were mailed to every organization of which there was any record, in 
the office of the American Jewish Committee. The bulk of these question¬ 
naires were mailed during the year 1918, and, in the main, the facts here 
recorded are assumed to be correct as of last year, although during the past 
six months an endeavor has been made to have the information corrected as 
much as possible without resorting again to the individual organizations for 
data, but by securing the services of public-spirited and well-informed individuals 
in each locality. In only a few cases was any personal canvassing done. 
Wherever possible, advantage was taken of notices of and references to organi¬ 
zations appearing in the general and Jewish press. 

Societies which are known to exist, but which did not respond to repeated 
requests for information, are indicated by an asterisk; those with respect to 
which information was secured from authentic though not official sources are 
indicated by two asterisks. 

The following abbreviations have been employed : 


Cem., for Cemetery. 

Cg., for Congregation. 

Char., for Charitable or Philanthropic 
Society. 

Dir., for Director. 

Enuc., for Educational Organization. 
Exec., for Executive. 


M. B., for Mutual Benefit Society. 
Pres., for President. 

Prin., for Principal. 

Sec., for Secretary. 

Supt., for Superintendent. 

Treas.. for Treasurer. 

Zion., for Zionist Society. 


Abbreviations are also sometimes used by the organizations themselves in report¬ 
ing their names. Among these the most common are K. K., for Kahal Kadosh • 
K. IT. V., for Kranken TTnterstiitzungs Verein : M. B. A., for Mutual Benefit Asso¬ 
ciation ; A. C., for Athletic Club: Y. M. B. A. and Y. L. B. A., for Young 
Men’s and Young Ladies’ Benevolent Association, respectivelv. Following the 
practice of past years, all Hebrew names are given as transliterated bv the 
organizations themselves. 

The list for New York City is based entirelv upon the various directories 
given in The Jetvish Communal Register of New York City, issued bv the 
Ivehillah (Jewish Community) of New York Citv in 1918 Following is a 
summary of the information respecting the local organizations of that citv as

Following are several tables exhibiting the main facts respecting local organi¬ 
zations in the United States, outside of New York City. It must be borne in 
mind that it is not claimed that the information given here is complete; the 
manner in which the data were collected—almost exclusively through the 
mails—cannot be expected to yield complete and accurate results. The informa¬ 
tion is, however, of great value for comparison. 

The 1843 congregations listed herewith, added to the 1127 reported for New 
Y T ork City, make a total of 2960 for the country. Of the 503 which report 
the time of service. 243, or almost one-half, hold services on Sabbaths and Festi¬ 
vals only ; 154, a little over one-third, hold services daily ; 51. or about ten per 
cent, convene only during the Festivals ; and about an equal number report hold¬ 
ing services irregularly, as fortnightly, or every two months, etc. 

Of the 829 congregations which report the language employed at service, 496, 
or nearly sixty per cent, use Hebrew ; of these, 19 report the use of Yiddish 
in sermons or in public announcements. About thirty per cent use both 
Hebrew and English, and a little less than ten per cent use English exclusively. 

From Table II it will be seen that only one-fourth of the total number of 
congregations report a total membership of 48,205, an average of little over 
one hundred members for each congregation. Assuming that this average 
obtains throughout the United States, we may infer that the total member¬ 
ship of all the congregations listed in the Directory is about 180,000. This number, 
added to the membership of the permanent synagogues in New York City, gives 
us a total of 260,000 for the entire country. In most cases, as is well known, 
membership in congregations is restricted to heads of families. Assuming that 
each of the 260,000 members represents a family of only three, we may make 
the conservative estimate that over three-quarters of a million of the Jewish 

population of the country are regularly affiliated with congregations. If we 

take into account, however, those who attend divine services during the High 
Festivals—in New York City, the number of these is five times the regular 

membership—we are led to the conclusion that two and one-half million of the 

three and one-third million .Tews of the country, or nearly five out of six, 
come into direct contact with Jewish religious influences sometime during the 


year. 

As regards congregational religious schools, Table II shows that 584 con¬ 
gregations, which report having such schools—a great many which have do 
not report them—have 2568 classes, most of which meet once weekly, and 
48,534 pupils. 

In attempting to estimate the number of charitable agencies, we must add. 
to the 907 given in Table III. 164 reported for New York City, making a total 
of 1071 for the entire country. We must also take into consideration the 14 
National Jewish Organizations which have philanthropic functions and which 
report 576 branches and a total membership of over one-quarter of a million 
individuals. (See Directory of Jewish National Organizations in the 
United States, pp. 303-329.) Most of the large Jewish communities have 
charitable federations, and reference to the List of Federated Jewish Charities 
in the United States (pp. 584-586) will show that of the 46 organizations in 
that list, 41 report an aggregate income, in 1918, of $6,325,661.69. Unfortunately, 
sufficient data on which to base an estimate of the income of non-federated 
agencies are not available. . . 

To the 566 educational agencies given in Table III, 1<0 must be added 
for New York City, making a total of 736; six national organizations with 

educational objects' report 434 branches, and 5 of them report an aggregate 

membership of 30,318. ... 

To the 177 Mutual Benefit Societies listed in the same table must be added 
1016 reported for New York City, and the 2421 branches of 11 out of the 15 
national fraternal orders whose aggregate membership is over half a million 
individuals. To the 214 clubs listed we must add 15 reported for New Y^ork Citv. 

The number of cemeteries given is misleading, because, in some instances, 
congregations which have merely a plot in a larger cemetery report the pos¬ 
session of a cemetery of their own. The number given, however, cannot be verv 
far from the truth, as it is an average of only ten Jewish cemeteries for each 

stateof the Union. New York City reports fifteen Jewish cemeteries.
